Product list - International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

How can the Museum have a global reach while representing its local population? This is one of the challenges that Mathieu Menghini will be tackling in his talk.

Representative of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the Museum is also a key contributor to the city of Geneva. For this discussion, guests from the cultural sector and those who migrated to Geneva will share their unique expertise on integration into local life and the role that cultural spaces can play in this process.

Take part in this conference and discuss the ways in which the Museum reflects the city and becomes a useful place for its population, becoming an ecomuseum, a museum of community.

This event is held in French.

A museum director, a social sciences researcher and a humanitarian just back from the field share their views on the Museum. Three perspectives on a place that echoes humanitarian action and that is undergoing major transformation.  During this three-way tour, Pascal Hufschmid, Valérie Gorin and a humanitarian will share their views and expertise as they explore the permanent exhibition. Together with you, they will contribute to the co-construction of the Museum's new permanent exhibition. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Atelier and its artist-in-residence Zahrasadat Hakim, followed by the annual Summer Party.

The purchase of one or more suspended tickets makes it possible to promote access to culture through a civic act, from person to person.

Suspended tickets will be collected and given to the Geneva Red Cross and other local partners active in the social field, who will redistribute them to their beneficiaries.

But what is a Solidarity Sunday?

It's very simple: every first Sunday of the month, take advantage of reduced admission prices, with tickets priced at 10.00 CHF instead of 15.00 CHF. It's also an opportunity to do a good deed, as the purchase of a ticket equals a ticket that will be donated to the Geneva Red Cross and other local partners. These tickets will then be distributed to the beneficiaries of these organizations.

By taking part in Dimanche Solidaire, you're promoting access to culture through a civic gesture, from person to person.

On Sunday, June 1st, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR) will perform at the Museum as an act of solidarity. This exceptional concert aims to strongly reaffirm the importance of cultural institutions in fostering social cohesion. A quartet of musicians will offer a musical and supportive moment, featuring a program dedicated to Mozart. For the occasion, the Museum’s Café HINIVUU will serve a special brunch menu. All proceeds from the event will go toward the creation of "suspended tickets," allowing individuals without financial means to visit the Museum free of charge, in collaboration with several socially engaged organizations. An exceptional opportunity to experience the OSR in a unique and welcoming setting, rediscover the Museum, and take part in a tangible act of solidarity. An experience that combines music and civic engagement in support of a more inclusive and accessible culture.

As part of our artist-in-residence programme, take part in a creative walk in the surroundings of Geneva. The workshop begins near Sauverny, on the French-Swiss border, where you will be warmly welcomed and introduced to the artistic universe of Zahrasadat Hakim.

Throughout the walk, which will include conversations and exchanges, Zahrasadat Hakim and Marie Jambers will share their reflections and sources of inspiration with you. Following forest paths and the meandering course of the Versoix river, the walk will conclude in the town of the same name.
